Archbishop of Cantebury On Regulation of Religious Symbols

Last week, upon his return from a trip to China, Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Cantebury, published an of-ed column in the London Times titled A Society That Does Not Allow Crosses or Veils in Public Is a Dangerous One. The column comes after British political leaders have criticized the wearing of the Niqab by Muslim women. (New York Times, Oct. 22.) Reactions to William's column were reviewed in This Is London last Friday.
